Abstract
Replanted almost entirely by the botanist Henry Greene in the iy40s and 1950s, Lower Greene Prairie is among the oldest wet-mesic prairie restoration sites in the United States. Subsequent urbanization and highway construction since the 1970s have led to an influx of stormwater, sediments, nutrient inputs, and invasive plants. Approximately one-third of the prairie (> 3 ha) is now dominated by reed canarygrass {Phalaris arundinacea). The historical significance of the site now extends to its present use as an adaptive restoration project that integrates research with restoration (Werner and Zedler 2002, Zedler 2005), as researchers at the University of Wisconsin (under the supervision of Joy Zedler) plan to divert stormwater around the restored prairie.
